An endotracheal tube is provided having flexible tubing of a predetermined inner diameter and a predetermined length adapted for endotracheal intubation via a mouth or nasal passage of a patient and a separate curve stabilizer to which the flexible tubing may be attached and through which the flexible tubing extends. The curve stabilizer includes walls forming a hollow elbow which has distal and proximal ends and a curved section therebetween and being sufficiently rigid to retain a portion of the flexible tubing in a curved shape forming an anti-kink bend at any selected location along the predetermined length of the flexible tubing.
